...greatest celebration in its history. Next week its centennial year begins, marking the 100th anniversary of the signing of the British North America Act, which forged three separate British colonies into a single confederation. As the festivities start, Ethiopia's Haile Selassie will lead an almost nonstop, six-month procession of 60 or more of the world's leaders, including President Johnson, Prime Minister Wilson and General de Gaulle, who will come to Canada to pay their respects and to visit Montreal's centennial-commemorating Expo 67, which will feature displays from Canada and 70 other nations...
...color pictures and charts that begin on the opposite page tell the remarkable story of a jetliner's nonstop flight across the U.S. Oddly enough, one of the remarkable things about the flight was that it was not remarkable at all. The TWA 707 took off from Los Angeles International Airport, soared smoothly across the nation, landed at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport. No hitches, no nervous moments, no bother. And therein lies an even more remarkable story?a story that involves 14,000 highly trained and dedicated men who work with some of the most complex...
...sensational crusade to unmask a conspiracy to assassinate John F. Kennedy, and last week, sure enough, he made an arrest.

Since Chinese students and Russian police clashed two weeks ago in Red Square, the Russian embassy has been surrounded day and night by firebrand-tossing, loudspeaker-keening Chinese. It was, said Tass, like a nonstop "witches' sabbath" of "violent abuse and bloodthirsty calls for revenge on the Soviet people." Dancing around a bonfire, the demonstrators stuck effigies of Brezhnev and Kosygin to crosses and set them afire, railed at the Soviet embassy staff cowering inside as "filthy swine, hyenas, rascals and scoundrels." The nearly...
...them conspicuously swathed in bandages, the Chinese embassy lodged "the most serious and strongest protest" and demanded that "the Soviet government publicly apologize." The entire staff of the Moscow embassy held a meeting to condemn the "fascist atrocity." In Peking, Russia's embassy was soon surrounded by a nonstop demonstration of Chinese students and soldiers in an ugly mood. Premier Chou En-lai and Foreign Minister Chen Yi sent a cable promising the students a triumphant return to Peking. The Chinese Foreign Ministry, in an elaborate attack, said: "Since we dread neither heaven nor earth, neither devils nor gods...
